Sad Realisation

Squible

I just realised something while writing a blog post.

'In the 23yrs I've been here, I have NEVER been happy with myself, been healthy, fit and active or live my life to the full that I could and should'

Don't get me wrong I have had happy times in my life and fantastic memories but they alwasy seem to be over shadowed by my size or like of physical ability.

This must change!

I've been finding it really difficult to get back on track and push though, part of me finds it really hard and difficult. I was speaking to my boyfriend the other night and got upset that I kept failing and I felt wek and useless. He made me realise I had been through so much worse and pushed myself alot harder mentally with stuff I've had to go through in the past that this in comparison is 'easier' in a sense.

With this I know what I need to do, how to do it, what the results will be. I have all the tools and information and thanks to this site I have the support which in the past for other things I didn't I did that all by myself.

So I know I have the power and strength to go through this journey and mayb I will finally one day be happy with myself

I honestly believe that being happy with yourself comes from confidence. I know it is easier said than done but focus on your positive qualities, look at things from an outsiders point of view. If you were to treat yourself like you were a friend, what would you like about yourself.

Superficially I can say that you are beautiful but I'm sure that you are a fantastic person as well.

By all means lose the weight, but sometimes people find that they lose the weight and the confidence still isn't there.

Remember, YOU ARE AMAZING!

It's not always about the weight, dont let it hold you back! Go out and do things that make you happy, and boost up your confidence!

I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I'll be 23 next month and it's hard to forgive myself for all the life I missed out on because of me neglecting my health.
